MT. VERNON, IL — The Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce wants to warn of a possible scam going around in the area. If you have received a phone call from someone selling ads for maps for the “City of Mt. Vernon” this is not a project of the City’s or the Chamber.

Laura Horn, Membership Relations with the Jeffco Chamber says they do not have any map projects at this time and are unsure of who might be selling these.

This could very well be a scam, so please be cautious with these sorts of ad calls.
